When C3-PO got his memory erased at the end of Revenge of the Sith, I was so fucking jealous. But not as jealous as when he sacrificed his memory in the abomination known as The Rise of Palpatine.
So Palpatine hired Boba Fett, who subcontracted another hired gun, who sent a robot, who sent bugs through the window. I'm surprised the bugs didn't pay off a mouse to shank her.
@@darynvoss7883 who cares if it's Boba or Jango? It's about this stupid idea with so many sub companies to just get one person.... JUST SHOOT A FUCKING ROCKET INTO THE WINDOW!!
People say Guinness hated Star Wars- which isn't true- but however he felt about it, he showed pure class by putting so much into the role. In his school play he played a messenger who came running in with news from another city...just before going on, he ran around the perimeter of the building so he would be authentically out of breath. First thing he did when he put the Kenobi outfit on in Tunisia was lie down on the ground so the costume would look properly dusty and lived-in. Same commitment to authenticity from schoolboy to old man, what an absolute legend.
Hell, there's more emotion in the little shift of the eyes Obi-Wan does when Luke asks him how his father died. He knew that question was coming, and he'd worked out what he was going to say. He couldn't tell Luke the truth, but at the same time he doesn't like lying to him. He knows Luke is going to find out the truth eventually, if he follows his destiny and learns the ways of the Force, but how do you tell a kid, "Your father is Space Himmler." He's got no choice and he doesn't like it, but here goes....
The biggest, most insane fuckup in these movies, continues to be the idea that the Jedi would use some random clone army they never commissioned in the first place, without spending a second investigating why they were made, or what the fuck their training regimen was. Apparently they were ordered by a Master Sifo-Dyas, but a Jedi ordered a bunch of clones with a secret order to kill all the Jedi? How did he pay for an entire Republic army, without the Jedi knowing? Did he put it on his MasterCard? Did the Kaminoans just do it for free? Did they question why the Jedi would use an outlaw bounty hunter as their template? Did the Jedi ever question this before using them? Why did Jango want a clone for himself? Obi-Wan gets ATTACKED by the template for their clone army earlier in the same fucking film! This is the same guy who tries to kill Padme! The whole clone army thing is incomprehensible. Lucas makes the Jedi look like a bunch of idiots, and thats before you get to the farcical, never-explained idea that their connection with the Force has been diminished, or that Palpatine has found a way to essentially cloud all of their minds - to make them stupid, I guess.
Not only the Jedi, the friggin senate doesn't even bother to find out where did this new army came from. Like nobody in the galactic government bother to ask who made it or who pay for it, or if they are trustworthy enough to protect the Republic? but nope, nobody bats an eye apparently.
I'm wondering how a 1.2 million clone army is supposed to defend the galaxy, when that's barely enough to support a medium sized country, let alone half the galaxy with millions of planets against a robot army of billions if not trillions.
also when obi wan tracks the template of this clone army, he finds he is indeed working for the separatists and the ex members of the trade federation. that's not eve a red alarm, that's practcially confirmation that this clone army has been made by their enemies and then they go and try to fight their enemies with the weapons made by their enemies, i mean dear god
When the assasin snuck up on Obi-Wan in the bar, he/she didn't even bother to shape shift into a new disguise. There was litterally no point in that character being a shape shifter.
That's because Zam being a shape shifter was an afterthought. Anakin's shape shifter comment was added in reshoots, after principal photography was completed. The original script had Obi-Wan saying "Do you see him? " to which Anakin would have replied "I think he's a she..." and then Obi-Wan said "Then be extra careful...", implying the assassin was very dangerous because it's a woman. Can't say if the change was made because the original idea may have come off as chauvinist, or because Lucas just wanted to squeeze more CGI into the film.
@@olizalzeortolan8322 yeah, but it's fun to think that George Lucas could've done better if he had professionals write the story. you're right, he'd probably screw that up even worse.
@@PyrokineticFire1 He would've actively fought to keep the most entertaining things out of the feature length adaptation. The movie might've made sense years later with the extended edition.
Werewolf O. London, Esq. what the hell else you think was gonna happen? Palpatine wins? And really don’t see a huge problem with fan service, especially when its the same fans that bitched about Rian Johnson saying “we have to do what we want.”
.....and realized you were right? The sequels are pretty bad, but they aren't even in the same universe as this trash fire. Have you actually watched ep 2 recently?
Funnily enough there was actually a plot in the old Dark Horse comics about a Jedi who hit upon the idea to test every Senator for midichlorians to find the Sith among them, but unfortunately the first person he shared his plan with was Palpatine, who arranged to have the Jedi killed before he could attempt an investigation.
The biggest plot hole of them all. Midichlorian investigations would be absolutely mandatory almost everywhere, because you don't know who could become a superpowered maniac with super reflexes. Let alone in the Senate
You say you're not into the extended universe? have you ever played KOTOR 1 or 2? How about Republic Commando? Shadows of the Empire for the N64 is what I like to think of as the "best" bad starwars game, because it's not that good due to crap controls, but it's still kinda fun. All of those games are extended universe, and until you've at LEAST played kotor 1 and 2, you can't really talk about how you're not into it.
It's amazing how within just 10 years these prequels look like low-budget Syfy TV movies. The uninspired lighting, dull color palettes and over-CG'ed everything just makes it all look so cheap and fake.
I rewatch these reviews every year or so. They have a lot of humor that lands, but even more importantly, they teach you how to think about story and structure.
Of all the characters in the Star Wars prequels, Count Dooku is to me the most baffling and confusing one by far. With every one else, no matter how bad or unnecessary they were, you could kinda see what Lucas was going for. But Dooku is supposed to be the main villain of Episode II but we don't even see him until half the movie is over, and we never see him do anything specifically evil, and at the end he ends up escaping just to immediately die in the first 10 minutes of Episode III. What. Was. The. Fucking. Point?
+Gaydolf Schmitler What don't you get? Midichlorians told him to do all that stupid shit so that Anakin would eventually become Darth Vader. It was the will of the Force! Duh!
+Kurt Crockenberg you dont actually believe that theory..... are you serious? its a perfect theory, one we WISH were true, but it NEVER WAS INTENDED. those prequels were his original vision, with the only change being swapping jar jar for C3PO for the comedy role. THAT'S ALL. Lucas's movies are Indie films specifically so he can do whatever he wants. He never does anything anyone tells him to do, only what he wants. what we got was his vision, period.
+Gaydolf Schmitler Well, there never should have been a Greivous, and Dooku should have died halfway through Episode 3, not in the first action scene. Also, Dooku shouldn't have been a Sith at all. He should have been a Jedi who left the order and knows there a Sith in the Senate, and is misguided, thinking that his civil war thing will get rid of the corruption. That would have been far better.
In a time where youngsters believe this trilogy is a master piece, I come to Mr Plinkett to find confort and happiness in my hatred of the movies. Praise be onto him for his work.
They’re stupid. They don’t know any better. I love when they say the prequels “weren’t that bad” like it’s some kind of ringing endorsement. But what can you expect from a bunch of kids raised on Blues Clues and who are still being taken on play dates by their parents at 23 years old?
Boy do I miss the days when it was generally accepted that the prequels were badly made films. Now we have to deal with kids who grew up with them, twisting themselves into logic pretzels to try and convince themselves that these films are some kind of masterwork. “I didn’t like the sequels so therefore the prequels are a work of genius!”
@@Slazors The prequels had great potential but they were written and directed by a man so uninterested in either process that he left Empire and Jedi to others. He should’ve known better than to take all that on himself.
@@homelessjesse9453 Nah, they’re not. I don’t think you believe that Poe moment is worse than Jar Jar’s scenes. Or the sand speech. Or the “you are so beautiful” scene. Or “NOOOOOOOO!”
HISHE animated that joke as a hommage to this vid in their "How Phantom Menace should have ended video". Funny moment indeed, Darth Maul had so much potential... Fun fact: The actor who plays him made a reference to Maul in the first X-Men movie (he plays Toad Tolensky), after he defeats Storm.
Lucas... I know you're getting older but you seem to have forgotten that you sold star wars for 4 billion dollars... So why do you even care anymore? I'd be content with that much money for something that hasn't even been good in a long ass time.
The real reason George Lucas made the Prequels was to just show off computer generated effects since it was all the rage. I read on Wikipedia that after George Lucas saw his friend Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park it inspired him to make the Prequels. But unlike Spielberg, George clearly had no idea how to properly use it right like Spielberg or hell even Peter Jackson who at the same time was filming the Lord of the Rings which by the way effects that still hold up today in comparison to Lucas's crappy Prequels.
That may be true or perhaps he's only good at coming up with rich stories and imagination but sucks at script writing and directing. But Wikipedia is not reliable, friend. hehe
Mr. Plinkett describing the 2nd prequel movie less as a film and more like a traumatic experience like watching a family member die is the best thing ever
Okay so can we all just acknowledge that if Jango had the shot to take out Zam (the shapeshifter) he also was at an angle where he could've shot both the Jedi which would've destroyed the need to kill his ally
Well, you can look at that from the other angle. Jango was a hired assasin. His job was to kill Amidala, maybe he was order not to kill anyone besides her, or maybe he thought it was too risky.
Not too mention while the jedi are dealing with his assassin he could be taking out padme which is his primary job... i assumed the first time i saw the film that that was his plan, have Zam lead the jedi off while he tied to kill padme and she had to fight him off herself, proving her capabilities in defending herself. but no...that owuld have been actual good writing and god knows George couldn't be bothered to have even that much.
I have a theory that Jango was hired to make it look like an assassination campaign without actually killing Padme. He hires Zam and sabotages everything. It explains the failure of the rocket attack and the use of centipedes as opposed to almost anything else that would be effective. And it's a reason to use a weapon that only exists on one planet. It's just a ploy to get the Jedi on the track of the clones.
***** Yeah, but...it's going to be great It's gonna be great It's gonna be great It's gonna be great It's gonna be great It's gonna be great It's gonna be great It's gonna be great It's gonna be great
After dipping into some heated Star Wars discussions online, why can’t we just agree that neither the prequels nor the sequels are great and neither can hold a candle to the original trilogy. That would be a great outcome.
Counter-offer: All nine Star Wars movies (side movies included) hold a special place in someone's heart and no one should be made to feel bad for liking the ones they do, no matter the external peer pressure
I can see George Lucas writing that line and doing that little chuckle that he does, thinking how witty and funny he is. "dellow felegates. Heh heh heh, oh that'll be a good one heh heh heh."
It's incredible how the disney movies in combination with the prequels effectively retcons the whole series to make Palpatine the central character, but also in the worst way. In some sense he was the only one with real goals and everyone else just responds to what he does. Episode 9, in context of all the films, especially the prequels, has such monumentally bad writing that it almost implies that it couldn't possibly be the conclusion because if Palpatine is so powerful that he survived all 8 movies preceding with so much control over how things generally go, then why wouldn't he just spontaneously resurrect again and start the exact same shit.
Even though it's a terrifying grindhouse type show, I feel like the acting and directing in Plinkett's personal horror movie vignettes is better than most scenes in the movies he reviews.
Meanwhile my Harmy De-specialized edition of ANH looks glorious. good motion control and good models get BETTER with age. Edit: I forgot it’s not even ANH. It’s just STAR WARS.
Jedi, devoid themselves of all emotion and logic: "we need an army! Oh, look a clone army that was ordered 10 years ago...we should never look into this and just use this army, maybe even let our guard down."
I just watched Unconquered (1947). Gary Cooper is coming to rescue the people under siege. The band leading the march had a bagpipe. One of the characters shouted, “this is the only time I’m glad to hear a bagpipe”. I almost died laughing
You actually feel for the female victims in their predicament and we all have a well and terrifying villain (Plinkett) to root agaisnt...or for depending on your preferences.
+Jamie Williamson It's basically dark absurdist humor. It works for the Plinkett character they've created while at the same time it's a point to show while their analysis is on point, this isn't something to take so freaking serious.
Attack of the Clones is easily the worst Star Wars movie, but a little perspective makes it considerably less painful. Anakin/Padme is a more believable romance than Christian Grey/Anastasia Steele. Jar Jar Binks is less annoying than Adam Sandler. Count Dooku is a better villain than Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor.
"The red capes are coming" is pretty much the only line from that character I remember, and that's only because I watch the trailer more than the film--not because it's good, but because the music is decent, much better than the film itself. As for Dooku, yeah, I can't remember a single thing he said.
It's funny, out of all the stupid shit in AOTC I've never realized how stupid it is for Mace Windu still be concerned about Padmes assassination attempt than the massive clone army made in secret to fight for the Republic a decade ago 💀... Jesus 🤯
that's true if you think about Padme objectively as the minor character she would be at this point rather than Luke Skywalker's mother. what I don't get is if Padme could safely and secretly arrive to Corusant, why even bother risking a decoy's life? and could she really be the only Senator that's threatening to Palpatine to try and assassinate? if so, he could've done it a lot sooner and easier
Lol yes it was used as the theme for Married: With Children, but the song was around well before that. It's called Love and Marriage. It's a Frank Sinatra song.
The bugs were sent by the drone who was sent in by Zam Wessel who was sent in by Jango Fett who was sent in by Nute Gunray who was sent in by Count Dooku who was sent in by Sheeeeve Palpatine who was sent in by Darth Plagueis who was sent in by Darth Jar Jar who was sent in by Kylo Ren from the future who was sent in by the sheer Will Of The Force which was sent in by midichlorians which were sent in by George Lucas who was sent in by Satan who was sent in by God who was sent in by humans who came from apes who came from fish who came from bugs who were sent in by THE DRONE !!!
It took the sequel trilogy to gaslight us into believing that the prequels were actually good. Thankfully, we have these Plinkett reviews to help us keep in touch with reality.
George Lucas's Star Wars prequel trilogy is a pure masterpiece, a wonderful, magnificent, exciting, significant, and extremely rich work that has greatly contributed to the story, universe, characters, lore, and mythology of Star Wars. They are the best, the greatest films of all time, a great cult and exciting trilogy from start to finish. It's the Star Wars as George Lucas always wanted it to be. It's the best Star Wars trilogy, the greatest Star Wars trilogy, the richest, most accomplished, most complete, the best period; everything is superb: the deepening of the Star Wars universe and its narrative elements are superb and exciting, and it explores in detail the period of the Clone Wars, a crucial moment in Star Wars history. A fundamental and exciting turning point. The Clone Wars period is the best period of Star Wars. The fascinating plot that unfolds throughout the films. The rise of Palpatine, Darth Sidious, is masterfully depicted. His behind-the-scenes machinations to undermine the Galactic Republic and bring the galaxy under his control are meticulously presented. His manipulation to form a massive clone army and eradicate the Jedi with Order 66 is a central element of the story, explaining how the Galactic Empire took shape following the fall of the Republic and how Anakin fell to the dark side to become Darth Vader, a fallen hero who just wanted to save those he loved. Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader is a superb, memorable, breathtaking scene. The connection with the original trilogy is very well done. Anakin's internal conflict between his loyalty to the Jedi Order and his desire to save those he loves makes his story deep and tragic. His journey to the dark side, with key moments such as his confrontation with Count Dooku and his heartbreaking final duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. The prequel trilogy also brought invaluable richness to the Star Wars universe, with a detailed look at the Jedi Order, Padawan training, Sith, combat mastery, and Jedi teachings. The spotlight on the Sith and their philosophy strengthened the dark side of the Force, adding depth and complexity to the saga. The political aspect of the prequel adds a new dimension to the Star Wars universe, with Palpatine's machinations in the Galactic Senate and growing tensions between planetary systems, creating a richer context for the later events of the Original Trilogy, the rise of the Empire, the fall of the Republic, the extinction of the Jedi, and Anakin Skywalker's tragic story. The expansion of the universe is also great. New planets, races, creatures, peoples, and cultures are introduced, contributing to creating a larger and more diverse world. Iconic locations such as Kamino, Geonosis, Utapau, Felucia, and Mustafar provide visually captivating backdrops for action scenes, development, and key plot moments. Beloved and iconic characters, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, General Grievous, Jango Fett, Watto, Sebulba. The action scenes and lightsaber battles are among the most memorable in the saga. Epic battles such as the Battle of Geonosis, the podrace on Tatooine, the Battle of Naboo, and the battle above Coruscant are very memorable and iconic of the saga. The lightsaber duels between iconic characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul, and Yoda are executed with exceptional choreography, adding a visceral dimension to the story. The prequel also enriches the Star Wars lore with new charismatic and endearing characters, unforgettable music, "Duel of the Fates," "Across the Stars," "Battle of the Heroes," a super rich, exciting, and comprehensive lore, and a talented cast of actors, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Liam Neeson. Natalie Portman is superb, magnificent, sweet, sensual, and charismatic, giving her character Padmé Amidala queen and senator of Naboo an exemplary strength, determination, and courage. She's perfect, she's iconic. Her evolution from a queen to a senator, into a badass, elegant, and determined woman, is a central characteristic of the trilogy. Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson bring memorable class and presence to the screen. Their dynamic as Jedi Masters is palpable, and they convey a wisdom and determination that anchor the story in the Jedi legacy. Additionally, Christopher Lee's presence as Count Dooku adds a touch of class, elegance, and charisma, amplified by his Shakespearean speech. The prequel was the rejuvenation of the Star Wars saga, bringing real dramatic scope, real political context, stakes, new superb and iconic characters, iconic action scenes, a much richer universe, a more developed, more diverse universe, and a much more extensive universe. It expanded the lore of the saga, and complements the original trilogy being inseparable from it. The Star Wars prequel is a masterpiece, and the Star Wars trilogy is a masterpiece and together form an incredible whole, a single great story of exceptional galactic epic. The story of Anakin Skywalker, from his Jedi training to his fall to the dark side of the Force to his redemption as a Jedi by saving his son, destroying the Sith, and restoring balance to the Force. The story of the Galactic Empire, once a democratic Republic, and the story of Palpatine, his evolution from senator to chancellor to becoming the emperor of the galaxy, his manipulations to establish his authority in the senate, to create his own Galactic Empire, to overthrow the Jedi Order, and to keep Anakin with him as an apprentice. and the technological advancement towards digital, modern technologies, computer editing, special effects, to create new worlds, new extraordinary and extraordinary world-building, new peoples and to build the extraordinary story of the Star Wars prequel, a true expanded, gigantic, extremely rich universe, with infinite possibilities, exploring new planets, new peoples, new civilizations, new technologies, new worlds, just like Avatar.
I just realized something I had never thought of before. When the assassin robot is at Padme's window, why didn't Obi Wan or Anakin just grab it with the force? Why did one of them have to jump out of a window to haphazardly grab on to it? It's been established time and again that they can grab things and manipulate them with the force. Why couldn't one of them stall it and bring it into the room or smash it against the wall? Wimpy ass Kylo Ren can stop a lazer bolt, but some of the most skilled Jedi can't stop a robot from 5 feet away?
Not too mention while the jedi are dealing with his assassin Jango could be taking out padme which is his primary job... i assumed the first time i saw the film that that was his plan, have Zam lead the jedi off while he tied to kill padme and she had to fight him off herself, proving her capabilities in defending herself. but no...that would have been actual good writing and god knows George couldn't be bothered to have even that much.
@@mckenzie.latham91 that's actually a really cool idea. esp some suspense if she's hiding. ofc knowing Lucas, he'd probably have thrown her to have some force abilities - surprised he didn't do this in the prequels, now that I think about it
that is the whole problem with the Jedi and the force post ANH/episode 4-5-6. That the force is an absolute superpower. In ANH it was basically premonition and some telekinesis, which is why Solo refers to it as a "hokey religion". It wasn't meant to be a superpower of almost devine strength. Even in Empire, Yoda need to seriously focus to lift the Xwing and he's rather exhausted after he did. Same with Luke's Force Jump etc, takes a heavy toll on him, which is why he doesn't just do it constantly. I think the Jedi Guinness' Obi Wan refers to, are a small group of perhaps 100 people who consider themselves as protectors of the Republic, much like the Knights Templar. They are not an official government body and keepers of state religion, but a fringe minority of dubious nature and purpose.
He read the script. Seriously, the entire movie only makes sense if you look at it as though someone had told all the characters in advance what was going to happen and they're just going through the motions.
The most fucked up thing about this movie is that one of the Jango Fett action figures had a head connected to the body with a magnet, so you could easily recreate the decapitation scene.
Pretty sure it’s a common joke that has no known origin. Anybody who makes movies could probably relate to seeing a pile of papers on a set and assume that someone left a script laying around
I am Buhlockay I see the Prequel renaissance going on and I can’t join in. I get second hand embarrassment from the acting. But I get why people like the Prequels. They can be pretty cheesy fun sometimes.
@@oneinathousand2156 I can see why. I really don’t like Attack of the clones, but the phantom menace and Revenge of the sith are enjoyable, albeit flawed.
Palpatine doesn't have a wife. He doesn't have sex. That bullshit retcon by Disney is denied because it is contradicted by the first in time canon movie. Prior canon trumps retcon.
I still remember watching the preview for episode 2 on an iMac in the computer lab that my elementary school had. The preview was called "forbidden romance", and because of the suspicious title I was called into the principal's office. My mom also taught at the school. I was punished. 😮💨 That is my most positive memory of episode 2. Sincerely, an episode 3fan.
The CGI in this movie looked bad when the movie hit the theaters, and nowadays it looks super bad. Everything is so blurry and smudgy. Movies that are decades older, including the original SW trilogy (before the bazillion new cuts and "enhancements" George Lucas made), have aged a lot better.
@footferry1589 I remember watching episode 2 in the theater and thinking how bad the background looked when Mace Windu was walking around with Obi-Wan on Coruscant.
Lucas is broken childish romantic. He's ex-wife run out with his employee working on Skywalker ranch. This sad situation is for Lucas very embarassing and then he become empty Shell of his former self. Then he decided that the Jedi would become monks who adhere to celibacy. This act protects all fans who play like the Jedi, from disappointment in sexual life. It's very sad story.
13:11 I love that you included Star Wars kid in that image. That poor guy suffered so much bullying over the years just because he was a fan. But here you included him as an equal with a bunch of bad ass Jedi, where he belongs.
When this film came out on dvd, I gathered some friends and we watched it, and I was still in awe at the visuals and the "OMG lightsaber battle!", and I was basically blind to the inadequacies of the film, but now that I look back, I distinctly remember a couple of the non-starwars people just totally not getting what was happening, and even saying "wtf is going on?" at one point under their breath. It's insane how much went wrong with these films that could've gone so right.
I feel like the Jedi in the prequels are based on Lucas feeling shitty about his failed marriage(s?) thus why he says "yep they decided to start a relationship so they will suffer horribly as anybody who does that ends up doing"
Mr. Plinkett although he is a complete psychopath, really knows alot about filmmaking. These reviews are awesome and spot on. As a Star Wars fan since 1977, I cant believe how bad George Lucas screwed up these prequels. I mean the original trilogy especially episode 4, were pretty simple, straight ahead plots. The characters were great. And so was the acting. The prequels are missing a good story, characters, and heart. Just my humble opinion.
I honestly can't believe their are idiots online who say the Force Awakens was worse then this shit. ''All it did was rehash a New Hope.'' At least Force Awakens didn't have shitty CGI 95% of the film. At least it didn't have boring lifeless dull characters. Least it didn't have a bitchy, whinny annoying shithead who complained about sand. Least it didn't shit on the whole concept of the Force or Master Yoda. Least it didn't have the most laughable worst love story in the history of film (next to Twilight). Least it didn't have nearly 50 f**king plot holes the size of Pluto compared to this. Attack of the Clones is still to this day the worst film in the franchise. It is honestly so f**king bad it makes the Phantom Menace look like a masterpiece. Force Awakens may have borrowed too much from a New Hope, but it was otherwise a well acted and well paced film. All the Prequels honestly feel they were made by an 8 year old who doesn't understand Star Wars and just wants to have people spin around with Lightsabers in a bloated green screen environment. And I don't wanna hear that f**king bullshit argument of: ''least it was more original'' because you know what else was original the Holiday Special and that is still far more entertaining then Attack of the f**king Clones.
I still don't understand why people hate it. It does nearly everything the originals did. "All it did was remake a New Hope. Disney played it safe." No shit they played it safe. They couldn't reach out and try things because people would have criticized everything they tried to do. Like when it was announced Finn was a black stormtrooper, people flipped their fucking shit for no reason at all. It seems that the only reason people dislike it is because it was too similar to the original.
Now Ep.1 and 2 were bad and TFA was better than those two movies(in my opinion) but that's not saying much, Ep. 1 and 2 had shitty dialogue, shitty writing and shitty effects, but with TFA...at least it was less shitty...
I feel there's just this large group of idiot people who hate on Force Awakens for the dumbest stupidest reasons. Even there are people who didn't like the film that's fine if you have some logically reasons. But the reasons I'm seeing are so f**king mind numbling dumb my brain can't process any kind of logic. People hate on it for dumb reasons like: It's released by Disney. Yeah cause as we all know Disney has never ever produced any quality products ever. Hate J.J Abrams. Because again, it's not like he's made any kind of entertaining movies in his career. Hate it cause it borrows too much from a New Hope. Yeah, just ignore the fact it's a completely different premise and still manages to bring new things to the table. And it's not like George Lucas reused imagery for the Prequels. Hate it Rey cause she's a ''Mary Sue''. Yeah, Rey managed to beat a guy who was wounded and was clearly unbalanced due to frustration. That's totally a Mary Sue. Hate Kylo Ren cause he's a whinny brat. I think people confuse whinny brat and conflicted and torn. I almost feel there was just this group of people on stand by who were just waiting to hate this film regardless whether it turned out good or bad.
+Gelatinous Joe Yeah,basicly all that people say when it comes to 'overload of many things going on the screen' 'Ur brain noticed' 'Fuck my brain,I'm paying for watching this movie,not him...'
Every time I hear people talking about how bad the sequel trilogy was, I think of Attack of the Clones and how hideously awful this movie was. This movie is on par with The Rise of Skywalker as being the worst in the series. For as bad as The Phantom Menace was, that film at least had a couple of decent action scenes. What we got from this movie was poor writing and a plot that didn't make much sense, too much useless exposition and not enough action, and just an overall embarrassment of a film. I would watch The Last Jedi a hundred times before watching Attack of the Clones again.
Completely agree. For me the prequels and sequels are just bad as each other. Dont have an interest in ever rewatching both of em. The original trilogy is all that's canon to me. I don't understand the ppl who are now saying the prequels are good. The prequels are fkn awful. Chris Stuckmann's (who has now sold out) reviews on the prequels he was absolutely shi**ing on em and mentioned RLM's review and how he agreed with it. And then the obi wan kenobi show came out (which was also awful) and he titles his video "obi-wan kenobi enhanced my prequel love' lik wtf.
@@ARBLACKx couldn’t agree more, the prequels are terrible, I’d say the force awakens is decent enough but the other sequels suck. I’ve also noticed stuckman is a sellout
You know instead of Obi-Wan jumping out the window at the probe, why didn't he just use the Force to stop it from escaping? What was it he said again? ''Use the *Force*, think.''
So palpatine wants padme dead, but he doesn't wanna do it himself, so he asks count dooku to go kill padme. But count dooku doesn't wanna do it himself, so he asks jango fett to go kill padme. But jango fett doesn't wanna do it himself, so he asks his SHAPESHIFTER FRIEND to go kill padme. But the shapeshifter sends a ROBOT to go kill padme. And if you really wanna be more of asshole and get even more granular, the droid says "I'LL SEND THESE LITTLE BUGS TO GO KILL PADME"! Palpatine sends a man Who sends a man Who sends a shapeshifter Who sends a robot Who sends bugs *TO GO KILL PADME*
When C3-PO got his memory erased at the end of Revenge of the Sith, I was so fucking jealous. But not as jealous as when he sacrificed his memory in the abomination known as The Rise of Palpatine.

So Palpatine hired Boba Fett, who subcontracted another hired gun, who sent a robot, who sent bugs through the window. I'm surprised the bugs didn't pay off a mouse to shank her.
you forgot, Palp hired Dooku, who then hired Boba Fett
Boba Fett is a child in these movies. No one hired him.

There’s more emotion in how Alec Guinness delivers; “...and he was a good friend.” then in all the prequels.
People say Guinness hated Star Wars- which isn't true- but however he felt about it, he showed pure class by putting so much into the role.
In his school play he played a messenger who came running in with news from another city...just before going on, he ran around the perimeter of the building so he would be authentically out of breath. First thing he did when he put the Kenobi outfit on in Tunisia was lie down on the ground so the costume would look properly dusty and lived-in. Same commitment to authenticity from schoolboy to old man, what an absolute legend.

@Mustiboi Salman it was all ewans fault! He critiques too much
@@lucasoheyze4597 Alex Guinness couldn’t give a bad performance if he tried.
Hell, there's more emotion in the little shift of the eyes Obi-Wan does when Luke asks him how his father died. He knew that question was coming, and he'd worked out what he was going to say. He couldn't tell Luke the truth, but at the same time he doesn't like lying to him. He knows Luke is going to find out the truth eventually, if he follows his destiny and learns the ways of the Force, but how do you tell a kid, "Your father is Space Himmler." He's got no choice and he doesn't like it, but here goes....
I'm beginning to suspect that Palpatine might be behind some of this.
Impossible. The archives must be incomplete.

@@captainamerica7800 You might wanna get some stick-removal treatment for your ass, buddy.
Palpatine’s behind it all!
The biggest, most insane fuckup in these movies, continues to be the idea that the Jedi would use some random clone army they never commissioned in the first place, without spending a second investigating why they were made, or what the fuck their training regimen was.
Apparently they were ordered by a Master Sifo-Dyas, but a Jedi ordered a bunch of clones with a secret order to kill all the Jedi? How did he pay for an entire Republic army, without the Jedi knowing? Did he put it on his MasterCard? Did the Kaminoans just do it for free? Did they question why the Jedi would use an outlaw bounty hunter as their template? Did the Jedi ever question this before using them? Why did Jango want a clone for himself?
Obi-Wan gets ATTACKED by the template for their clone army earlier in the same fucking film! This is the same guy who tries to kill Padme!
The whole clone army thing is incomprehensible. Lucas makes the Jedi look like a bunch of idiots, and thats before you get to the farcical, never-explained idea that their connection with the Force has been diminished, or that Palpatine has found a way to essentially cloud all of their minds - to make them stupid, I guess.
Not only the Jedi, the friggin senate doesn't even bother to find out where did this new army came from. Like nobody in the galactic government bother to ask who made it or who pay for it, or if they are trustworthy enough to protect the Republic? but nope, nobody bats an eye apparently.
I'm wondering how a 1.2 million clone army is supposed to defend the galaxy, when that's barely enough to support a medium sized country, let alone half the galaxy with millions of planets against a robot army of billions if not trillions.
My brain hurts now thinking about it. I'm just shaking my head pretty much now.
also when obi wan tracks the template of this clone army, he finds he is indeed working for the separatists and the ex members of the trade federation. that's not eve a red alarm, that's practcially confirmation that this clone army has been made by their enemies and then they go and try to fight their enemies with the weapons made by their enemies, i mean dear god
Guys, shut up already. You're able deduction is making my head implode.
When the assasin snuck up on Obi-Wan in the bar, he/she didn't even bother to shape shift into a new disguise. There was litterally no point in that character being a shape shifter.
+Mark R (CaoCaoTipper) Zam Wesell COULD have been a Cool Villain, if SHE Disguises herself as the Death Stick Guy or Anakin or Obi-Wan to fool them.
That's because Zam being a shape shifter was an afterthought. Anakin's shape shifter comment was added in reshoots, after principal photography was completed. The original script had Obi-Wan saying "Do you see him?
" to which Anakin would have replied "I think he's a she..." and then Obi-Wan said "Then be extra careful...", implying the assassin was very dangerous because it's a woman. Can't say if the change was made because the original idea may have come off as chauvinist, or because Lucas just wanted to squeeze more CGI into the film.
Robert M. Lucas - Fascinating.

Attack of the Clones and The Two Towers both came out in 2002. The contrast is ridiculously damning.

"Palpatine's behind it all!"
Even way back when this was made Plinkett was prophesying the plot of Episode 9.
Its like dr wily again
It's like poetry, it rhymes.
Werewolf O. London, Esq. what the hell else you think was gonna happen? Palpatine wins? And really don’t see a huge problem with fan service, especially when its the same fans that bitched about Rian Johnson saying “we have to do what we want.”
I remember thinking Episode 2 was as bad a Star Wars as could be made. Then I saw episodes 7, 8 & 9.
.....and realized you were right? The sequels are pretty bad, but they aren't even in the same universe as this trash fire. Have you actually watched ep 2 recently?
Funnily enough there was actually a plot in the old Dark Horse comics about a Jedi who hit upon the idea to test every Senator for midichlorians to find the Sith among them, but unfortunately the first person he shared his plan with was Palpatine, who arranged to have the Jedi killed before he could attempt an investigation.
The biggest plot hole of them all. Midichlorian investigations would be absolutely mandatory almost everywhere, because you don't know who could become a superpowered maniac with super reflexes. Let alone in the Senate
that Jedi is BFFs with Sheev.
You say you're not into the extended universe? have you ever played KOTOR 1 or 2? How about Republic Commando? Shadows of the Empire for the N64 is what I like to think of as the "best" bad starwars game, because it's not that good due to crap controls, but it's still kinda fun. All of those games are extended universe, and until you've at LEAST played kotor 1 and 2, you can't really talk about how you're not into it.
DiomedesIsHit
lol why would he share his plan with someone he was going to test?
bananian
His plan was to ask Palpatine to take the test first, to set an example for the rest.
It's amazing how within just 10 years these prequels look like low-budget Syfy TV movies. The uninspired lighting, dull color palettes and over-CG'ed everything just makes it all look so cheap and fake.
and yet a film from the 1960's still looks really good because they used real models and sets
fair point
The first Alien has better special effects than these craps and it premiered 20 years earlier.
and its a GOOD movie
Ian Phoenix I agree!
Dexter Jettster is key to all of this. He’s a bit of a funnier character than we’ve had before

I rewatch these reviews every year or so. They have a lot of humor that lands, but even more importantly, they teach you how to think about story and structure.
They are the reason I know how to pronounce prote-a-goan-ist correctly.
you aren't wrong.
Of all the characters in the Star Wars prequels, Count Dooku is to me the most baffling and confusing one by far. With every one else, no matter how bad or unnecessary they were, you could kinda see what Lucas was going for. But Dooku is supposed to be the main villain of Episode II but we don't even see him until half the movie is over, and we never see him do anything specifically evil, and at the end he ends up escaping just to immediately die in the first 10 minutes of Episode III. What. Was. The. Fucking. Point?
He was just a Christopher Lee fan.
+l GrandusHoopus Just my opinions tbh fam.
+Gaydolf Schmitler What don't you get? Midichlorians told him to do all that stupid shit so that Anakin would eventually become Darth Vader. It was the will of the Force! Duh!
+Kurt Crockenberg you dont actually believe that theory..... are you serious? its a perfect theory, one we WISH were true, but it NEVER WAS INTENDED. those prequels were his original vision, with the only change being swapping jar jar for C3PO for the comedy role. THAT'S ALL. Lucas's movies are Indie films specifically so he can do whatever he wants. He never does anything anyone tells him to do, only what he wants. what we got was his vision, period.
+Gaydolf Schmitler Well, there never should have been a Greivous, and Dooku should have died halfway through Episode 3, not in the first action scene. Also, Dooku shouldn't have been a Sith at all. He should have been a Jedi who left the order and knows there a Sith in the Senate, and is misguided, thinking that his civil war thing will get rid of the corruption. That would have been far better.
In a time where youngsters believe this trilogy is a master piece, I come to Mr Plinkett to find confort and happiness in my hatred of the movies. Praise be onto him for his work.

Is he... dead yet?
Lucas... I know you're getting older but you seem to have forgotten that you sold star wars for 4 billion dollars... So why do you even care anymore?
I'd be content with that much money for something that hasn't even been good in a long ass time.
The real reason George Lucas made the Prequels was to just show off computer generated effects since it was all the rage. I read on Wikipedia that after George Lucas saw his friend Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park it inspired him to make the Prequels. But unlike Spielberg, George clearly had no idea how to properly use it right like Spielberg or hell even Peter Jackson who at the same time was filming the Lord of the Rings which by the way effects that still hold up today in comparison to Lucas's crappy Prequels.
That may be true or perhaps he's only good at coming up with rich stories and imagination but sucks at script writing and directing. But Wikipedia is not reliable, friend. hehe
Dane Mitch Maybe so, but it might explain so much of the overblown computer generated imagery all over the Prequels.

Mr. Plinkett describing the 2nd prequel movie less as a film and more like a traumatic experience like watching a family member die is the best thing ever
Okay so can we all just acknowledge that if Jango had the shot to take out Zam (the shapeshifter) he also was at an angle where he could've shot both the Jedi which would've destroyed the need to kill his ally
Isaiah Reitan shhhhh plot armor
Lucas will make a special edition where Zam shoots first
Well, you can look at that from the other angle. Jango was a hired assasin. His job was to kill Amidala, maybe he was order not to kill anyone besides her, or maybe he thought it was too risky.
Not too mention while the jedi are dealing with his assassin he could be taking out padme which is his primary job...
i assumed the first time i saw the film that that was his plan, have Zam lead the jedi off while he tied to kill padme and she had to fight him off herself, proving her capabilities in defending herself.
but no...that owuld have been actual good writing and god knows George couldn't be bothered to have even that much.
I have a theory that Jango was hired to make it look like an assassination campaign without actually killing Padme. He hires Zam and sabotages everything. It explains the failure of the rocket attack and the use of centipedes as opposed to almost anything else that would be effective. And it's a reason to use a weapon that only exists on one planet. It's just a ploy to get the Jedi on the track of the clones.

Aaaaahah! Now we're getting somewhere!
Besides Natalie postman’s midriff
Palpatine is so behind it all, even in the sequels, that the 9 episodes should collectively be known as The Palpatine Saga
It's incredible how the disney movies in combination with the prequels effectively retcons the whole series to make Palpatine the central character, but also in the worst way. In some sense he was the only one with real goals and everyone else just responds to what he does.
Episode 9, in context of all the films, especially the prequels, has such monumentally bad writing that it almost implies that it couldn't possibly be the conclusion because if Palpatine is so powerful that he survived all 8 movies preceding with so much control over how things generally go, then why wouldn't he just spontaneously resurrect again and start the exact same shit.
And the individual responsible for fixing it all is....a Palpatine.
the REAL Palpatine is still out there!
the Palpatine Saga won't be complete until episode 15
the Dark Side is a pathway to many plot devices
Oops! All Sidius!

The Jedi are completely unlikable weirdos in the prequels. Mr. Plinkett is right. They're like unemotional weirdo robots with some cultish religion

I just watched Unconquered (1947). Gary Cooper is coming to rescue the people under siege. The band leading the march had a bagpipe. One of the characters shouted, “this is the only time I’m glad to hear a bagpipe”. I almost died laughing

It's basically dark absurdist humor. It works for the Plinkett character they've created while at the same time it's a point to show while their analysis is on point, this isn't something to take so freaking serious.
Attack of the Clones is easily the worst Star Wars movie, but a little perspective makes it considerably less painful.
Anakin/Padme is a more believable romance than Christian Grey/Anastasia Steele.
Jar Jar Binks is less annoying than Adam Sandler.
Count Dooku is a better villain than Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor.
Not really I'd rather see a Sandler film and Lexus was a better villian.
At least Lex was memorable. I can't remember a single one of Dooku's lines.
"The red capes are coming" is pretty much the only line from that character I remember, and that's only because I watch the trailer more than the film--not because it's good, but because the music is decent, much better than the film itself. As for Dooku, yeah, I can't remember a single thing he said.
The only line I remember from Luthor is 'mmmm....ah! mmmmm'
*''What, you just put Dooku and Jar Jar in the same catergory? Fuck off kant''*
First off: No he didn't.
Second: ''Kant''? What the fuck? XDDD
It's funny, out of all the stupid shit in AOTC I've never realized how stupid it is for Mace Windu still be concerned about Padmes assassination attempt than the massive clone army made in secret to fight for the Republic a decade ago 💀... Jesus 🤯
that's true if you think about Padme objectively as the minor character she would be at this point rather than Luke Skywalker's mother.
what I don't get is if Padme could safely and secretly arrive to Corusant, why even bother risking a decoy's life? and could she really be the only Senator that's threatening to Palpatine to try and assassinate? if so, he could've done it a lot sooner and easier
I love that while Plinkett is talking about the Jedi not being allowed to love, the theme song to "Married with Children" is playing.
Lol yes it was used as the theme for Married: With Children, but the song was around well before that. It's called Love and Marriage. It's a Frank Sinatra song.

It took the sequel trilogy to gaslight us into believing that the prequels were actually good. Thankfully, we have these Plinkett reviews to help us keep in touch with reality.
Except prequel fans.
The Prequels are better than the originals
George Lucas's Star Wars prequel trilogy is a pure masterpiece, a wonderful, magnificent, exciting, significant, and extremely rich work that has greatly contributed to the story, universe, characters, lore, and mythology of Star Wars. They are the best, the greatest films of all time, a great cult and exciting trilogy from start to finish. It's the Star Wars as George Lucas always wanted it to be. It's the best Star Wars trilogy, the greatest Star Wars trilogy, the richest, most accomplished, most complete, the best period; everything is superb: the deepening of the Star Wars universe and its narrative elements are superb and exciting, and it explores in detail the period of the Clone Wars, a crucial moment in Star Wars history. A fundamental and exciting turning point. The Clone Wars period is the best period of Star Wars. The fascinating plot that unfolds throughout the films. The rise of Palpatine, Darth Sidious, is masterfully depicted. His behind-the-scenes machinations to undermine the Galactic Republic and bring the galaxy under his control are meticulously presented. His manipulation to form a massive clone army and eradicate the Jedi with Order 66 is a central element of the story, explaining how the Galactic Empire took shape following the fall of the Republic and how Anakin fell to the dark side to become Darth Vader, a fallen hero who just wanted to save those he loved. Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader is a superb, memorable, breathtaking scene. The connection with the original trilogy is very well done. Anakin's internal conflict between his loyalty to the Jedi Order and his desire to save those he loves makes his story deep and tragic. His journey to the dark side, with key moments such as his confrontation with Count Dooku and his heartbreaking final duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. The prequel trilogy also brought invaluable richness to the Star Wars universe, with a detailed look at the Jedi Order, Padawan training, Sith, combat mastery, and Jedi teachings. The spotlight on the Sith and their philosophy strengthened the dark side of the Force, adding depth and complexity to the saga. The political aspect of the prequel adds a new dimension to the Star Wars universe, with Palpatine's machinations in the Galactic Senate and growing tensions between planetary systems, creating a richer context for the later events of the Original Trilogy, the rise of the Empire, the fall of the Republic, the extinction of the Jedi, and Anakin Skywalker's tragic story. The expansion of the universe is also great. New planets, races, creatures, peoples, and cultures are introduced, contributing to creating a larger and more diverse world. Iconic locations such as Kamino, Geonosis, Utapau, Felucia, and Mustafar provide visually captivating backdrops for action scenes, development, and key plot moments. Beloved and iconic characters, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu, General Grievous, Jango Fett, Watto, Sebulba. The action scenes and lightsaber battles are among the most memorable in the saga. Epic battles such as the Battle of Geonosis, the podrace on Tatooine, the Battle of Naboo, and the battle above Coruscant are very memorable and iconic of the saga. The lightsaber duels between iconic characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Maul, and Yoda are executed with exceptional choreography, adding a visceral dimension to the story. The prequel also enriches the Star Wars lore with new charismatic and endearing characters, unforgettable music, "Duel of the Fates," "Across the Stars," "Battle of the Heroes," a super rich, exciting, and comprehensive lore, and a talented cast of actors, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Liam Neeson. Natalie Portman is superb, magnificent, sweet, sensual, and charismatic, giving her character Padmé Amidala queen and senator of Naboo an exemplary strength, determination, and courage. She's perfect, she's iconic. Her evolution from a queen to a senator, into a badass, elegant, and determined woman, is a central characteristic of the trilogy. Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson bring memorable class and presence to the screen. Their dynamic as Jedi Masters is palpable, and they convey a wisdom and determination that anchor the story in the Jedi legacy. Additionally, Christopher Lee's presence as Count Dooku adds a touch of class, elegance, and charisma, amplified by his Shakespearean speech. The prequel was the rejuvenation of the Star Wars saga, bringing real dramatic scope, real political context, stakes, new superb and iconic characters, iconic action scenes, a much richer universe, a more developed, more diverse universe, and a much more extensive universe. It expanded the lore of the saga, and complements the original trilogy being inseparable from it. The Star Wars prequel is a masterpiece, and the Star Wars trilogy is a masterpiece and together form an incredible whole, a single great story of exceptional galactic epic. The story of Anakin Skywalker, from his Jedi training to his fall to the dark side of the Force to his redemption as a Jedi by saving his son, destroying the Sith, and restoring balance to the Force. The story of the Galactic Empire, once a democratic Republic, and the story of Palpatine, his evolution from senator to chancellor to becoming the emperor of the galaxy, his manipulations to establish his authority in the senate, to create his own Galactic Empire, to overthrow the Jedi Order, and to keep Anakin with him as an apprentice. and the technological advancement towards digital, modern technologies, computer editing, special effects, to create new worlds, new extraordinary and extraordinary world-building, new peoples and to build the extraordinary story of the Star Wars prequel, a true expanded, gigantic, extremely rich universe, with infinite possibilities, exploring new planets, new peoples, new civilizations, new technologies, new worlds, just like Avatar.

I just realized something I had never thought of before. When the assassin robot is at Padme's window, why didn't Obi Wan or Anakin just grab it with the force? Why did one of them have to jump out of a window to haphazardly grab on to it? It's been established time and again that they can grab things and manipulate them with the force. Why couldn't one of them stall it and bring it into the room or smash it against the wall? Wimpy ass Kylo Ren can stop a lazer bolt, but some of the most skilled Jedi can't stop a robot from 5 feet away?
Not too mention while the jedi are dealing with his assassin Jango could be taking out padme which is his primary job...
i assumed the first time i saw the film that that was his plan, have Zam lead the jedi off while he tied to kill padme and she had to fight him off herself, proving her capabilities in defending herself.
but no...that would have been actual good writing and god knows George couldn't be bothered to have even that much.
I agree with your reasoning, but Kylo Ren isn’t “wimpy.” That’s a myth that really needs to die.
Obi-Wan jumped out of the window to grab onto the droid because he wanted to see who the droid would return to so he can find out who the assassin is.
@@mckenzie.latham91 that's actually a really cool idea. esp some suspense if she's hiding. ofc knowing Lucas, he'd probably have thrown her to have some force abilities - surprised he didn't do this in the prequels, now that I think about it
that is the whole problem with the Jedi and the force post ANH/episode 4-5-6. That the force is an absolute superpower.
In ANH it was basically premonition and some telekinesis, which is why Solo refers to it as a "hokey religion".
It wasn't meant to be a superpower of almost devine strength.
Even in Empire, Yoda need to seriously focus to lift the Xwing and he's rather exhausted after he did.
Same with Luke's Force Jump etc, takes a heavy toll on him, which is why he doesn't just do it constantly.
I think the Jedi Guinness' Obi Wan refers to, are a small group of perhaps 100 people who consider themselves as protectors of the Republic, much like the Knights Templar. They are not an official government body and keepers of state religion, but a fringe minority of dubious nature and purpose.
the 360p actually helps to blend the shitty CGI

The side-by-side of Lucas and the fat roach monster gets me every time.
And another thing about the probe - why didn't Obi Wan just grab it with the damn Force?
He read the script.
Seriously, the entire movie only makes sense if you look at it as though someone had told all the characters in advance what was going to happen and they're just going through the motions.
PALPATINE'S BEHIND IT ALL!
The force is really underused in all of the prequels
Because it’s not the force unleashed.
Holly Lucianta that kind of happens when you make a prequel
I've watched these prequel reviews so many times. It's almost worth having them just so Mr. Plinkett could make these videos.
Damn Plinkett really predicted Rise of Skywalker
"Sometimes a cigar is just a giant vagina in the desert that swallows men whole" lol. man, I love this.
The most fucked up thing about this movie is that one of the Jango Fett action figures had a head connected to the body with a magnet, so you could easily recreate the decapitation scene.
+2112mon lol, I think I have that Jango Fett. Though I lost the head somewhere xD
Even worse. Padme's action figure has a strap on to recreate the love scenes with Anakkin.
Ah, so this is where the "is that the script?" joke came from.
Never heard the joke
@Am Ros It's Seele logo from Evangelion
Yea I see it in plenty of videos. People trying ti pass it off as their own.
Pretty sure it’s a common joke that has no known origin. Anybody who makes movies could probably relate to seeing a pile of papers on a set and assume that someone left a script laying around
RLM are the OGs of entertaining movie reviews on RUclips. They are extremely respected by a wide array of RUclipsrs.

Man, I'm so glad these reviews were made, every time I feel down this cheers me up.
I do not understand how anyone can say this movie is secretly brilliant. As flawed as the sequels were, I’d still take those over this.
HardikG121 That’s fair.
I am Buhlockay I see the Prequel renaissance going on and I can’t join in. I get second hand embarrassment from the acting. But I get why people like the Prequels. They can be pretty cheesy fun sometimes.

I still remember watching the preview for episode 2 on an iMac in the computer lab that my elementary school had. The preview was called "forbidden romance", and because of the suspicious title I was called into the principal's office. My mom also taught at the school. I was punished. 😮💨 That is my most positive memory of episode 2.
Sincerely, an episode 3fan.
The CGI in this movie looked bad when the movie hit the theaters, and nowadays it looks super bad. Everything is so blurry and smudgy. Movies that are decades older, including the original SW trilogy (before the bazillion new cuts and "enhancements" George Lucas made), have aged a lot better.
@footferry1589 I remember watching episode 2 in the theater and thinking how bad the background looked when Mace Windu was walking around with Obi-Wan on Coruscant.
Lucas is broken childish romantic. He's ex-wife run out with his employee working on Skywalker ranch. This sad situation is for Lucas very embarassing and then he become empty Shell of his former self. Then he decided that the Jedi would become monks who adhere to celibacy. This act protects all fans who play like the Jedi, from disappointment in sexual life. It's very sad story.
This is hilarious
13:11 I love that you included Star Wars kid in that image. That poor guy suffered so much bullying over the years just because he was a fan. But here you included him as an equal with a bunch of bad ass Jedi, where he belongs.
Maniac536 he'll always be a jedi in my heart
May the force be with him.
He also sued a shit-ton of people.
When this film came out on dvd, I gathered some friends and we watched it, and I was still in awe at the visuals and the "OMG lightsaber battle!", and I was basically blind to the inadequacies of the film, but now that I look back, I distinctly remember a couple of the non-starwars people just totally not getting what was happening, and even saying "wtf is going on?" at one point under their breath. It's insane how much went wrong with these films that could've gone so right.
I mean... the fights do look "cool". They just lack any depth and meaning.
I feel like the Jedi in the prequels are based on Lucas feeling shitty about his failed marriage(s?) thus why he says "yep they decided to start a relationship so they will suffer horribly as anybody who does that ends up doing"
Well that's the same reason temple of Doom was so dark, but its not an excuse for the prequels to be garbage,
The biggest mistake was Lucas having yoda fight duku instead of jar jar.
The biggest mistake was to make Yoda fight anyone.
+blueshit199 the biggest mistake was that Lucas made this film

Now you know why Empire director Irvin Kershner told Lucas to get lost and not interfere.
Mr. Plinkett although he is a complete psychopath, really knows alot about filmmaking. These reviews are awesome and spot on. As a Star Wars fan since 1977, I cant believe how bad George Lucas screwed up these prequels. I mean the original trilogy especially episode 4, were pretty simple, straight ahead plots. The characters were great. And so was the acting. The prequels are missing a good story, characters, and heart. Just my humble opinion.
I honestly can't believe their are idiots online who say the Force Awakens was worse then this shit. ''All it did was rehash a New Hope.'' At least Force Awakens didn't have shitty CGI 95% of the film. At least it didn't have boring lifeless dull characters. Least it didn't have a bitchy, whinny annoying shithead who complained about sand. Least it didn't shit on the whole concept of the Force or Master Yoda. Least it didn't have the most laughable worst love story in the history of film (next to Twilight). Least it didn't have nearly 50 f**king plot holes the size of Pluto compared to this. Attack of the Clones is still to this day the worst film in the franchise. It is honestly so f**king bad it makes the Phantom Menace look like a masterpiece. Force Awakens may have borrowed too much from a New Hope, but it was otherwise a well acted and well paced film. All the Prequels honestly feel they were made by an 8 year old who doesn't understand Star Wars and just wants to have people spin around with Lightsabers in a bloated green screen environment. And I don't wanna hear that f**king bullshit argument of: ''least it was more original'' because you know what else was original the Holiday Special and that is still far more entertaining then Attack of the f**king Clones.
I still don't understand why people hate it. It does nearly everything the originals did. "All it did was remake a New Hope. Disney played it safe." No shit they played it safe. They couldn't reach out and try things because people would have criticized everything they tried to do. Like when it was announced Finn was a black stormtrooper, people flipped their fucking shit for no reason at all. It seems that the only reason people dislike it is because it was too similar to the original.
Alex Krall And yet people complained that the Prequels weren't enough like the Originals. Guess you can't win with anyone.
+Bane Knightfall
Yep.
Now Ep.1 and 2 were bad and TFA was better than those two movies(in my opinion) but that's not saying much, Ep. 1 and 2 had shitty dialogue, shitty writing and shitty effects, but with TFA...at least it was less shitty...
I feel there's just this large group of idiot people who hate on Force Awakens for the dumbest stupidest reasons. Even there are people who didn't like the film that's fine if you have some logically reasons. But the reasons I'm seeing are so f**king mind numbling dumb my brain can't process any kind of logic. People hate on it for dumb reasons like:
It's released by Disney. Yeah cause as we all know Disney has never ever produced any quality products ever. Hate J.J Abrams. Because again, it's not like he's made any kind of entertaining movies in his career. Hate it cause it borrows too much from a New Hope. Yeah, just ignore the fact it's a completely different premise and still manages to bring new things to the table. And it's not like George Lucas reused imagery for the Prequels. Hate it Rey cause she's a ''Mary Sue''. Yeah, Rey managed to beat a guy who was wounded and was clearly unbalanced due to frustration. That's totally a Mary Sue. Hate Kylo Ren cause he's a whinny brat. I think people confuse whinny brat and conflicted and torn. I almost feel there was just this group of people on stand by who were just waiting to hate this film regardless whether it turned out good or bad.
It's so dense, every single image has so many things going on.
jar jar is the key to all of this
..
You may not have noticed, but your brain did.
+Gelatinous Joe Yeah,basicly all that people say when it comes to 'overload of many things going on the screen' 'Ur brain noticed' 'Fuck my brain,I'm paying for watching this movie,not him...'
fuck you rick behrman
That was Lucas' intent. To make it look (the costumes etc.) the opposite of the first three.
Every time I hear people talking about how bad the sequel trilogy was, I think of Attack of the Clones and how hideously awful this movie was. This movie is on par with The Rise of Skywalker as being the worst in the series.
For as bad as The Phantom Menace was, that film at least had a couple of decent action scenes. What we got from this movie was poor writing and a plot that didn't make much sense, too much useless exposition and not enough action, and just an overall embarrassment of a film. I would watch The Last Jedi a hundred times before watching Attack of the Clones again.
Completely agree. For me the prequels and sequels are just bad as each other. Dont have an interest in ever rewatching both of em. The original trilogy is all that's canon to me.
I don't understand the ppl who are now saying the prequels are good. The prequels are fkn awful. Chris Stuckmann's (who has now sold out) reviews on the prequels he was absolutely shi**ing on em and mentioned RLM's review and how he agreed with it. And then the obi wan kenobi show came out (which was also awful) and he titles his video "obi-wan kenobi enhanced my prequel love' lik wtf.
@@ARBLACKx couldn’t agree more, the prequels are terrible, I’d say the force awakens is decent enough but the other sequels suck. I’ve also noticed stuckman is a sellout
"Anyone want to be Padme's decoy?" *(shows Jar Jar)* "Everyone's trying to kill her. Step right up!"
You know instead of Obi-Wan jumping out the window at the probe, why didn't he just use the Force to stop it from escaping? What was it he said again? ''Use the *Force*, think.''

So palpatine wants padme dead, but he doesn't wanna do it himself, so he asks count dooku to go kill padme. But count dooku doesn't wanna do it himself, so he asks jango fett to go kill padme. But jango fett doesn't wanna do it himself, so he asks his SHAPESHIFTER FRIEND to go kill padme. But the shapeshifter sends a ROBOT to go kill padme. And if you really wanna be more of asshole and get even more granular, the droid says "I'LL SEND THESE LITTLE BUGS TO GO KILL PADME"!
Palpatine sends a man

Who sends a shapeshifter
Who sends a robot
Who sends bugs
